Memorial Day is often associated with BBQs, pool floats, and shopping sales with suspiciously large flags on them. But let’s not forget: its true purpose is to honor those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy—and freedom, my friends, includes the freedom to know, love, and explore your body.
Now, let’s talk about a freedom many take for granted: the ability to learn about sexual wellness at one of my Ladies Night's or click “add to cart” on www.VALGINA.com without risking arrest.
Wait—That’s Illegal Somewhere?
Yep. In 2025, there are still countries where even talking about masturbation could land you in trouble.
In Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Malaysia, and Zimbabwe, sex toys and conversations around solo pleasure are considered obscene, indecent, or outright criminal—with penalties ranging from hefty fines to actual jail time.
So while you’re enjoying your long weekend in a land where your buzzing BFF isn’t contraband, take a moment to appreciate the freedom to pleasure yourself, each other, or speak openly about it, without a prison sentence. It’s not just a luxury—it’s a right we often forget to count.
Sexual Health IS Health. Period.
Let’s clear this up: masturbation is not bad. Sex is not shameful. And vibrators are not weapons of mass distraction.
They’re tools. For stress relief. For hormone balance. For better sleep, healthier pelvic floors, and happier people.
1. Stress Relief
Fact: Orgasms release a flood of feel-good chemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins—aka nature’s anti-anxiety meds.
Stat: A 2020 study found that 76% of people reported feeling less stressed after masturbating.

Guess what? No one’s ever died from using a clitoral stimulator. (Okay, maybe someone, somewhere!) But plenty of people and relationships have suffered from lack of education, access, and shame.
In fact, the World Health Organization recognizes sexual health as a fundamental human right. That includes access to safe products, honest information, and judgment-free pleasure.
This Memorial Day: Honor Freedom by Embracing It
If you’ve been taught to feel guilty about enjoying your body—guess what?
You’re not broken. You’re just overdue for a fresh perspective (and maybe a fresh battery).
And if you live somewhere you can openly explore your sexuality and wellness? That’s freedom worth celebrating.
So this Memorial Day, raise a glass. Fire up the grill. And while you’re at it, maybe fire up the… you know.
Because freedom is about more than fireworks.
It’s about autonomy. It’s about pleasure.
It’s about not needing a passport, apology, or priest to love yourself, and each other fully.
Sexual Health is Not a Dirty Word,
